Chapter 1: Section 3: Page 21: Line 3 (288)

 Miles gazed with keen curiosity, but Lindsay regarded the scene with a peevish stare.

Goddamn I can't stand Lindsay sometimes! Most of the time! I like the way he insults people so intelligently, mortally wounding their psyche with the perfect turns of phrase, but I can't fucking stand anything else about him! Imagine regarding everything with a "peevish stare." Miles sitting nearby, wide-eyed and agape at a man pissing on a ramshackle hovel while Lindsay tut-tuts and sighs loudly. Miles oohing and aahing at a woman passing by, carefully lifting her skirts slightly above the ankle as she steps over a puddle of mud while Lindsay rolls his eyes and sighs even more loudly. Miles clapping his hands in delight as he sees a pack of wild dogs surely eviscerating a passed out bum in an alley while Lindsay sighs loudly and mutters, "Humanity."

Lighten up, you human stick up an ass!
